We are really struggling with our little one and feeding - especially lunches and dinners, as he seems to have gone backwards on this. He will now only consistently eat yoghurt. Solids and purées are 99% of the time firmly rejected. He will occasionally eat some fruit, but most of it gets spat out. If we hand hi...

I am desperately trying to find recipes that are affordable that my kid will eat. What do you feed your toddlers?

Is anyone else struggling with mealtime? My daughter is 10 months old. She was doing great with mealtime until recently and she will shake her head,stick out her tongue or spit the food out when we feed her. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get her to eat? Thanks!

My baby is on day 7 of weaning - she only has a few spoons of whatever I offer her and then turns her head away and doesn’t let me feed her and is disinterested in picking up and putting the finger food in her mouth (usually puts everything in her mouth) Is that normal? She’s just turned 6 months for reference. Ho...

Hey mommas, I want to start giving my 5 month old babygirl homemade purées. I’m aware that I’m only supposed to introduce single ingredient purees at a time within a 4 day period to watch for any allergic reactions. However, I’m unsure of how many times I’m supposed to feed her solids within a day while still also f...

Feel like I’m not doing my son justice with weaning. I’m always running between both kids and I just about manage to feed him meals. Still on pouches/ purees but here and there I will give him what we’re eating. He is also exclusively breastfed. And I’ve found that he stops eating after a few mouthfuls. I’ve tried f...

Does teething affect appetite my little girl is 7 months old almost 8 & doesn’t seem to be very interested in her food at moment :( bottles are still quite normal but actual food doesn’t really want :/ any help

Dad decided last minute let’s give her cake.He just happened to pick a smooth carrot cake. We gave her a decent size.She gobbled it up but spit it up hours later.While ...

We started BLW when he was 6 months. He was brilliant. Always finished his food. He’s now 16 months and suddenly won’t eat any solid meals? He’ll happily munch on a biscuit, it’s just meals? He will only eat a pouch or those soft ready meals from Aldi for babies!! Anyone else going through the same? Can’t get him to...

When will this phase end? It’s so frustrating, he’s barely eating anything just like throws it on the floor and only really is eating yoghurt. Any tips?!

Hey ladies, I’ve been watching many videos on healthy eating and making homemade green juices, does anyone know weather they would be safe for my almost 15 month old, as he loves drinks and I feel it’s a good way for him to consume some more greens in his diet. Thank you 😊

What yoghurt does everyone buy fresh rather than pouches?

Broccoli, potato and carrots with seasoning . Plsss help a mama out

Hi everyone my son was put on prescribed milk at 1 month old for CMPA he’s now 6 months and ready to wean I’m just stuck on what he can have?? Do baby porridges contain milk or anything in them?🫣sorry to sound thick🤣and help appreciated.

My lo can eat and eat and eat, so much beige (he has been consistently and still is at every meal exposed to fruit/veg etc and will eat the odd thing) but yesterday by lunchtime he had 2 crumpets and 2 boiled eggs, a bit of toast a banana, 2 blueberry pancakes and some plain pasta. Does anyone else kids eat like thi...

My little girl started off well from 6 months and would try both purées and finger foods. For the last 2-3 weeks she just plays with finger foods and I struggle to get any purée into her. She’s almost 8 months. Is anyone else experiencing this?

At what age did you stop purée food?

My son is 11 months and still won’t eat solids. I’ve been trying since 7 months. I do notice the texture of foods disgust him. Am I alone on this?

Has anyone else's little one become quite fussy with food at times? He used to be so good at trying food and now he won't eat things he's had before 😩. He will still eat stuff but is addicted to biscuits at the minute too 😩. Dinner times are becoming quite stressful.

Baby is 8 months and I plan to have her on primarily a vegetarian diet until she’s a certain age.
